May tells the UK firms to train British workers

MuhasebeNews — Sun, 02 Dec 2018 08:00:27 +0000

Theresa May stated that British firms struggling to fill low-skilled jobs should be training British workers to plug the gaps rather than relying on immigration.

The chancellor, Philip Hammond, and the business secretary, Greg Clark, have both argued for looser restrictions on low-skilled foreign workers, with business complaining they cannot fill positions.

“What I hope to see and what I’m sure we will be seeing is opportunities for young people in the UK, opportunities for training and skilling young people in the UK”, May said.

The government is to relax its immigration rules to let more foreign doctors come to Britain to help tackle the NHS’s widespread shortages of medics.

Ministers have agreed to significantly expand the number of doctors allowed to come to work in Britain under the medical training initiative, from 1,500 a year to as many as 3,000.

Amazon workers on strike!

MuhasebeNews — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 13:30:58 +0000

Another major event happened on Black Friday.

Amazon workers in Germany, Spain, Italy and the U.K went on strike.

According to Reuters, nearly 90% of the workers, approximately 1,600 employees, participated in the walkout at Spain’s largest Amazon warehouse in San Fernando de Henares near Madrid.

620 workers also walked out at German distribution cenrers in Bad Hersfeld and Rheinberg.

It was stated that Amazon workers receive lower wages than others in retail and mail-order jobs.

They have been pushing for years for higher pay.

But Amazon thinks otherwise. It claims the work sites are logistics centers and pay well for that sector, The Associated Press reported.

GMB General Secretary Tim Roache stated that the ‘conditions our members at Amazon are working under are frankly inhuman’ .

Amazon announced last month that it would raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour in the U.S but then eliminated several financial perks.

EU tightens law on foreign temporary workers

EU tightens law on foreign temporary workers

The EU has passed a law requiring firms to comply with local standards when they post workers temporarily to another EU country.

The revised rules adopted by the European Parliament mean posted workers will be entitled to the same level of pay as their local counterparts.

In France, the UK and Germany there have been complaints of unfair competition from cheaper eastern European labour, said to undercut locals.

It was an issue for the Brexit lobby.

Brexit campaigners argued that EU freedom of movement was undermining British workers in sectors such as construction and food processing, with some firms cutting costs by importing workers from the newer EU states, such as Poland and Romania.

Many firms, however, argue that they hire foreign workers for jobs that Britons cannot fill, for lack of the necessary skills.

Under the new rules, firms sending workers to another EU country will have to cover their travel, board and accommodation costs – not deduct those costs from the workers’ salaries.

The accommodation provided will have to meet local standards.

The duration of the posting has been set at a maximum of 12 months, with a possible extension of six months. Beyond that period, a worker who stays on will have to be governed by the host country’s labour rules.
